Kate Winslet Doesn't Care About Critics

Kate Winslet revealed that she isn't fazed by the criticism that she received after her emotional speeches over the last few weeks.

The actress who picked up a Best Actress Oscar on Sunday night for her performance in Holocaust drama The Reader faced a negative reaction in the British media following her double Golden Globe Award last month.

She told the Daily Telegraph: "I really don't care. I really don't care. And, quite honestly, it makes me very sad that my own country can't be pleased for the successes of their own kind in the way that America really seems to be able to be. So I really don't care."

The actress has been riding on a wave of award success picking up gongs at the Golden Globes, both Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress, Screen Actors Guild, where she won Best Supporting Actress and the Best Actress Bafta.

After hyperventilating on stage when she collected her Golden Globe Winslet kept it together on Sunday night as she recalled practising her speech in the bathroom with a shampoo bottle when she was an eight year old girl.

"Well it's not a shampoo bottle now," she went on to say.

It was Winslet's sixth Oscar nomination and she said backstage to the Daily Telegraph:"You have no idea how well I practised that face. It was a good face.

"I practised quite considerably, actually. Oh, yeah, you get good at practising that face."
